From BoardGameGeek
Our country is preparing for war. As its leader, your job is to grow and develop our nation to become the largest military power in the world. Deploy a skilled workforce, build an efficient production engine, and provide enough supplies to ensure that we march toward victory! Earn victory points by producing and stockpiling military goods in your warehouse, acquiring structure cards and action dice, completing the goal of your achievement tile, expanding your nation's infrastructure, and cleaning up nuclear contamination in it. The most effective way to feed the war machine is to deploy the right combination of works, build structures that interact well with one another, and generate and use energy efficiently. The game is over at the end of the designated round according to player count. Add the total of Victory Points on several elements to determine the winner! In the case of a tie, the player who has the most total resources remaining breaks the tie and wins the game!
